Spent a solid night Dodging sleep again A dirty garage littered with Smoke from pipes and pyramids of cans Scale one more roof For talks of friends estranged The heights that offer views Of times that earn our praise At times you have to dive Through sewage in this life That filthy creek where The purest parts reside At times you have to dive By filth you'll be baptized Oh, holy night Dive until the sunrise Eyes fixed on grey skies While we try to find our feet A downhill run in morning air Though we always swim upstream Asleep in the basement With dogs that live like me In the cold of the sounds we make In the warmth of loyalty At times you have to dive Through sewage in this life That filthy creek where The purest parts reside At times you have to dive By filth you'll be baptized Oh, holy night Dive until the sunrise A summer for gypsies Reviving books I try to read When my hands stop shaking In times when the daylight finally favors me A summer for gypsies Where I find my separate peace We left our clothes there In exchange for the things that we keep At times you have to dive Through sewage in this life That filthy creek where The purest parts reside At times you have to dive By filth you'll be baptized Oh, holy night Dive until the sunrise
